On September 18, 2022, the teen board members of our chapter spent time on North Ave picking up litter. In just an hour, we collected 20.2 pounds of trash and recycling between Harlem and Ridgeland – that’s a lot of straw wrappers, food containers, and discarded water bottles! But, what came next was very heartening and unexpected to our newly installed board.
The employees of Na Siam noticed the cleanup efforts, provided refreshing drinks, and let CUGB use their dumpster to discard the litter from North Ave. This was a great lesson in the value of community service. We didn’t know Na Siam had opened back up and are so happy to spread the word that this great community business is open and was so generous with their time and resources! Our community is so lucky to have restaurants like Na Siam choose Oak Park!
